Chapter 146: Night Attack by the Enemy

Looking at the calmness on the faces of the generals of the Holy Protector Army, the officers of the other armies who came with them were a little envious, today fortunately, it was the Holy Protector Army who went up to fight this contact battle, if they went up instead, it would be a rout if they didn't retreat, and on the way back, I was afraid that they would be chased by the other party.

Either say, anyone will do it when you win a battle, but retreat is also a science, once you don't do it well, a good retreat is likely to turn into a rout, and then wait for others to wave their troops to cover up! From the end of the Northern Song Dynasty to the present, the Song army suffered such a loss can be regarded as much older, often because the army was disheartened when retreating, so that in the end it was chased and slashed by a small number of enemy troops, and it was able to chase and kill far along the way, and the defeat was extremely miserable.

In this contact battle, although the Song army did not bargain, the overall price paid was not large, only more than 100 people were killed, and more than 200 people were injured, most of them were minor injuries, with a little rest and treatment, most of them would not die, and the casualties they caused to the rebels were not much less, and it was actually a tie.

Gao Huaiyuan also played a trick on this expedition, using his relationship in the Beijing Division, he got dozens of medical officers in the Imperial Medical Department, and enriched them into the army for temporary use as military medical officers.

In this way, for the officers and soldiers in the army, it is undoubtedly a great thing, although the first team in the ancient squadron attaches great importance to medical officers, but this is only limited to the officer level after the person is injured in order to get better treatment, for ordinary soldiers, once injured, can only accept a simple bandage, as for whether they can survive depends on their own luck, and after this dispatch, Gao Huaiyuan ordered these medical officers, whether officers or ordinary soldiers, as long as they are injured, they must be treated wholeheartedly, so that For the morale of the army, it has played a great role in encouraging, so that the people in the army have the courage to move forward, as long as they do not die, they can receive good treatment if they are injured, so that the soldiers have a lot less worries.

Gao Huaiyuan saw that it was still early, so he sent Hua Yue to lead the troops to the mountain pass to call for a battle, asking the rebels to come out to fight, taking the opportunity to provoke the rebels, making the rebels angry, and preparing for tomorrow's battle, and at the same time, if the other party can be provoked, it is best to solve some enemy troops under the mountain and weaken the opponent's strength.

But Hua Yue challenged outside the mountain pass for a long time, and until it was dark, the rebels did not come down a single soldier, Hua Yue had to collect his troops and return to the camp before dark, and the whole army was stationed and began to rest and bury the pot to make rice.

Gao Huaiyuan This is also the first time to command such a large scale of troops to fight, which is different from the last time he was in Huangzhou, so he did not dare to slack off, and after eating with the generals, he led them to check the defense situation in the camp, although it was only a temporary camp, but for the camp he did not dare to simply arrange, or according to the normal layout, strictly arranged the defense everywhere, and set up sufficient facilities to resist the enemy.

Seeing that the ditches, deer bars, horse rejection and other facilities have been put in place, and the soldiers and generals of the imperial guards everywhere are also abiding by their respective posts, Gao Huaiyuan can be regarded as relieved, dealing with such a fighting old oily Li Quanjun, he does not dare to underestimate the other party, and a little mistake may make him capsize in the gutter.

After arranging these things, Gao Huaiyuan returned to his big tent, and Hua Yue also followed him into the tent, and the two of them carefully deduced tomorrow's attack against the makeshift sand table, and did not strip and sleep until they were completely arranged.

But not long after Gao Huaiyuan fell asleep, he heard the sound of a gong sounding in the west of the camp, this kind of tight gong sound, in the night sky seemed very abrupt, and the sound also spread very far, so that Gao Huaiyuan woke up and got up.

"What's going on out there?" Gao Huaiyuan kicked on his combat boots, reached out and grabbed the waist knife beside the bed, rushed out of the bed, and asked the guards guarding outside.

"Lord Qiqi, just now there was a warning signal from the West Gate, the rebels attacked the camp, there were hundreds of rebels who tried to sneak attack the West Gate just now, but they were discovered in advance by the defenders of the West Gate, and now they have been repulsed, the patrol officer General Li has led the army to pursue them, there should be news later!" The guard immediately replied to Gao Huaiyuan.

Gao Huaiyuan scolded secretly, these rebels are cunning, they actually came to steal the camp on the first night, they want to make their soldiers and horses tired! So he immediately sent an order: "Immediately pass my general's order, all the soldiers and generals who are not worth the night, don't care about these things, just sleep well, this kind of thing will be handled by the patrol officer!" ā€

The guards immediately received the order and ran down to convey it, while Gao Huaiyuan glanced at the night sky in the west, and greeted Li Ruohu, who ran over, and said, "Since you are up, come with me to have a look!" ā€

As soon as they walked out a short distance, they saw Hua Yue also running out of the place where he lived, dressed neatly, and when they saw Gao Huaiyuan dressed in a strong suit and not wearing armor, Hua Yue hugged his fists a little embarrassed and said, "Do you want to go to the West Gate to check?" ā€

Gao Huaiyuan smiled and said: "After all, it's already up, just go and take a look!" The rebels are very cunning, and we have to guard against it! It seems that our arming is still effective today, otherwise, we will suffer a loss tonight! Hehe! ā€

The two of them rode their horses to the west of the gate, and saw that the defenders here had begun to clean the battlefield, dozens of corpses of rebels in uniform were dragged out of the gate by them, and their heads were cut off and hung outside the gate, and they knew that a group of rebels had just touched the gate with a black light, and wanted to rush into the camp to set fire, but they didn't want to break into the camp just now, and the people in front of them crashed into the trap dug in the camp gate, and then alarmed a large number of defenders, under the leadership of the patrol officer, a fight, these rebels paid the price of dozens of people, Highlighted the gate and retreated in defeat.

And the patrol officer Li Xiaotian immediately waved his army to chase and kill, and at this time Gao Huaiyuan saw a torch outside the gate, and soon Li Xiaotian returned to the camp with soldiers and horses.

"Humble Li Xiaotian see the general!" As soon as Li Xiaotian entered the camp, he saw Gao Huaiyuan standing at the gate and hurriedly came over to report.

"How's the pursuit of the enemy going?" Gao Huaiyuan waved his hand and asked him.

"The enemy army has a total of about four or five hundred people, and after discovering that the attack on the camp failed, they highlighted the large camp, and waved their troops to cover up for a while, chased them to the mountain pass and killed more than 100 of them, and then turned back, and the rest of the rebels have withdrawn into the mountain pass." Li Xiaotian immediately bowed down and replied.

Gao Huaiyuan and Hua Yue looked at each other for a moment and said with a smile: "Liu Bao can be regarded as stealing chickens and rice this time!" ā€¦ā€¦ā€

At this time, Liu Bao sat in his tent, looked at his gray-faced subordinates, looked depressed, and scolded: "You fools, let you attack the camp, but you escaped back in such a mess, can't you even do the thing of attacking the camp?" ā€

The leader of his subordinates looked depressed, and said with his head drooping: "Originally, we had already attacked the enemy's camp, but who thought that the southern army was very cunning, and actually dug a trap in the camp, and fell dozens of our brothers at once, and then a large number of southern troops surrounded and killed, and the small one had to immediately break out desperately, and the other party also covered up and killed us all the way, until the mountain pass retreated, and the small one also fought desperately, so he led the brothers to escape back!" Let's underestimate these Southern troops a little bit this time! ā€

Liu Bao stood up and turned around a few times in the big tent irritably, waved his hand and drove this subordinate out, his heart said This time it was really strange, how did he meet such a difficult opponent, it seems that this battle is not easy to fight, this is the territory of the Song people, if it is not good, his own group of people may be thrown here, Liu Bao couldn't help but retreat a little, this time King Ji sent them to Hongjie Mountain, he was a little unhappy, I feel that King Ji does not trust them, and uses these northern armies as gunmen, now it seems, He was too eager to go to battle this time.

After pondering for a long time, Liu Baocai slept with his clothes, and looked at it for two days, if things were not good, he would lead his troops back to Huzhou, anyway, he also tried his best to go back and King Ji couldn't say anything wrong with him.

As soon as the light of day gradually brightened, the smoke of the Song army rose in the camp, and all the soldiers and horses got up early to start the war meal, and as soon as the hour arrived, a group of Song troops drove out of the camp, lined up outside the mountain pass, and the bed crossbows loaded with wheels were also pushed out of the gate immediately.

After Liu Bao got the letter, he immediately led the troops to arm, when he saw the posture of the Song army, his scalp immediately felt a little numb, they didn't expect the Song army to push the bed crossbow out today, so it seems that today the Song army is planning to fight to the death with them, in this way, his plan to guard the mountain pass for several days may be problematic, thinking of this, Liu Bao immediately ordered his subordinates to strengthen their vigilance, ready to counterattack at any time.

The soldiers and horses of the two battalions of the infantry division were placed in the position of the Chinese army today, and they received Gao Huaiyuan's order yesterday to take them as the Chinese army to attack the mountain pass and create an opportunity for the holy army to break through on both wings, so after seeing the performance of the holy army yesterday, the soldiers of the two battalions of the infantry division were also ready to do a big job, saying that they could not weaken the morale of their infantry division in front of the front of the palace, although they only wanted them to feint, but they also planned to let the rebels see the strength of their infantry division.

Gao Huaiyuan gave up the position of the commander of the Chinese army to Zhong Jianjun, and he alone ordered a thousand elites of the Guardian Saint Army to line up on the right flank, while Hua Yue led a thousand elite soldiers to line up on the left flank, just waiting for the next attack.
